Small Business Success Secrets
I read everything, I love reading, I love learning. I read ebooks, physical books, special reports, white papers.. you name it, I’ll read it. I like to read for my book club, but I have a true love of reading about business, online business marketing, social media and e-commerce. For this reason, I’ve becomme pretty good at quickly assessing if what I’m reading is junk or worth the highlighter.
My latest e-book read was sparked because of the wholesale/dropship aspect since this is a very popular area of my online baby business.
The author, Tim Knox, is an online entrepreneur and borrowing from his own profile..
“Tim Knox is a self-made entrepreneur who is well qualified to write a book like Small Business Success Secrets. Tim literally started with nothing and built a small business empire that grossed almost one million dollars in less than five years.
Tim is the founder, president and CEO of two successful technology companies and wholesale/dropship businesses.
Tim is an accomplished business writer and author. He writes the monthly “Inspirations & Ideas” and “Ebusiness Startup Expert” columns for Entrepreneur.com, the website of the national publication Entrepreneur Magazine.”

Like I said, this is only a sampling of the information. The overall format is written in a Q & A format where Tim took his top questions and articles that he wrote for his weekly newspaper column and compiled them all into one place.
An example from the book:
SWOT Analysis Is No Magic 8 Ball QUESTION: A key investor in my business has suggested that I hire a consultant to do a SWOT Analysis to help plan for the future. I try not to argue with my investors, but I’m not so sure I need to have this done. What do you think? -- Laurie B. ANSWER: Laurie, before you call in the SWOT team to deal with this investor (sorry, couldn’t resist that one), let me tell you exactly what a SWOT Analysis is and how it can not only help you plan for the future, but get a gauge of how your business is doing today.
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. A SWOT Analysis is a written exercise that can help you clarify and focus on the specifics that make up the four areas that most affect your business. The purpose of a SWOT Analysis is to help you build on your business’ strengths, minimize and correct the weaknesses, and take the greatest possible advantage of potential opportunities while formulating a plan to deal with potential threats."
My Thoughts
Of course, this continues on to a more detail but my point is they are real questions that real small business owners need solid answers to in a simple way.
The information in the book is a great addition to the library of any new or intermediate online business owner and will save you hours of searching forums and un-qualified Google results so you can spend time on ….your money making aspects of business.
Now, in addition to me reading the entire book, I did a little more research on the author because I’ll be honest, there are many e-books on the market today that are written by a ghost writer that is re-writing content off ezine articles, throwing an ebook cover on it and I was impressed with the quality of information in this product so I was being nosy…just being honest.
When I first opened the book and did an initial scan I saw the couple of affiliate promotions and was about to close and delete but the content really caught my attention and his straight forward answers in my favorite “bite size” pieces makes it worth the promotion. Then I decided to visit one of the links included in the book for a membership (both free and paid versions) to The Insider Club and was actually surprised that I was impressed with this link to more quality information. Yup, I joined the free version to check it out even more and wow, such another great resource I have added to my library of links.
Not only does it give me tons of free small business information but it also has a social networking component to it that allows me to build a free online profile to get links, post articles/videos, and backlinks to my site and the best part? Unlike the other social networking sites I use like Facebook or StumbleUpon, everyone in this site is also a business owner- I immediately have access to other like minded people in the forums or finding joint venture partners or just as a soundboard. Very cool!
So now, I have to admit that I am doubly excited to have purchased the re-sale rights to this product (and it wasn’t cheap) but now I can offer it to you for a very low (maybe too low) price of only $5.00.
Yes, only $5.00, and you can have access to this e-book to download immediately.
